173k for a 1976 Topps set in Lelands auction!!

[quitcrab]

My bad.. the 65 set was in Mile high auction. It sold for 175,000.

Babe Ruth bat for 212k. Or 1976 set for 175? Wow!

Consignor must've crapped himself on seeing that outcome.

I cannot fathom spending that kind of money on it, and it is my favorite baseball set from my childhood.

1976 set for 173k?..
The question that should be asked is how did the seller get 550 psa 10s?

So how do you speculate he got 550 PSA 10's?

From the link I posted.

"A total of 563 of the set's 660 cards (85%) have been graded a perfect PSA GEM MINT 10 including the Dennis Eckersley #98 rookie from the "Hill Collection."

That's the truth! It is a great year IMO. I recently purchased a very nice raw set. Some of the star cards need to be switched out because I want better centering, but my project will cost just a little less...
